@chris Thought of you when I read this story about pedaling while working. https://fosstodon.org/@coreysnipes/112501748433923657

@redcrew That is pretty cool. We don't even have our bikes at our place yet but I miss riding. @coreysnipes

Oh great... As if it isn’t bad enough that I have to clear every single mention notification twice in Ivory (and there is no way to turn off the rest of the notifications)... now even going to each tab no longer clears them and I need to quit the app entirely to do so.

I think it's time I put all my computers away... in the trashcan.

I sat down yesterday to start setting Nextcloud back up as a start to getting back out of the Apple Ecosystem.

After 2 hours of trying to get my keyboard to work on it, which suddenly stopped working after something updated, I gave up.

The frustration is strong!

My week off hasn’t been nearly as productive for my side projects as I had hoped but it has done wonders for my mental health.

@jnv Glad it was good. I think we all need more time off.

Changing contexts entirely every 30 minutes, on average, during an average work day doesn't make for a great environment to get focus work done.

It's storming outside this morning. I find it rather peaceful for sleep but, so much for our morning walk.

How is it only just now hitting 12:00? I swear it should be at least 5 or 6 pm already!

@shawnhooper Ha! Even after a couple of months it is still weird for me as team meetings and all are at different times.

chris,
@chris@mastodon.chriswiegman.com avatar

@shawnhooper Ha. Yeah. I have 1 Irish guy on my team so the two weeks between when the US switches and when Europe switches is always a mess.

I want to like the new-ish Thunderbird but it's just so hard to use.

@macmanx that’s a good description. It’s really hard for me to find stuff in it.

Nothing like another $8,000 bill to fix perfectly good electrical at the house we’re selling because insurance demands it now.

chris,
@chris@mastodon.chriswiegman.com avatar

@kel I'm 1,200 miles away now so there's not much I can do there but... yeah... for the rest. When we moved in we looked into having this work done but even the electricians said not to as it really wasn't worth it.

chris,
@chris@mastodon.chriswiegman.com avatar

@kel ugh. This is because home insurance has gotten so ridiculous in Florida and it is really pissing me off.

chris,
@chris@mastodon.chriswiegman.com avatar

@kel yep. That’s what they told me when we quoted it (we had a difficult time with insurance then but managed to find one so the electrician was honest enough to say don’t do it)

chris,
@chris@mastodon.chriswiegman.com avatar

@kel ha. We’re even insured through the state.

Whoa, the wind picked up in the past hour.

chris,

@redcrew It's windy here too this afternoon, but thankfully it is also warm and sunny.

My old Boostcharge Pro 3-in-1 MagSafe charger died. 💀

Now looking something to replace it.

Any recommendations?

I want MagSafe setup that supports iPhone’s standby mode. And 3-in-1 because I want to keep my phone/watch/airpods charging setup neat.

@toni do not get that giant 3 in 1 Belkin from the photo. It ruined my old watch. When I looked into the issue I learned it wasn’t that unusual

chris,
@chris@mastodon.chriswiegman.com avatar

@toni Gotcha. I was impressed with the design myself but wound up losing $300 on two of the damned things that failed just after the return window closed and Belkin basically told me too bad. What's worse is one completely ruined my Apple Watch too. Now we just have some official Apple chargers on some descent looking stands

chris,
@chris@mastodon.chriswiegman.com avatar

@toni Oh nice!

I'm still a bit shy on an all-in-one now after that Belkin (at least now I can just replace 1 $30 apple cable instead of a $100+ unit) but this or Anker are two companies I would trust.

The most annoying thing about Apple Music is when the insert fucking music videos at the end of albums.

chris,
@chris@mastodon.chriswiegman.com avatar

@tim Oh damn. That would drive me crazy too. For Apple so many alums are "Apple Music Addition" with extra videos tacked on and it's so infuriating.

chris,
@chris@mastodon.chriswiegman.com avatar

@Infosecben Oh yeah, that too... or when they pull one track out of an album and add it to your library separately.
